The plant is Ensete ventricosum.

I used to get those kind of spots when growing indoors, perhaps there is some specific reason but i do not know what it is, it seems for whatever reason the leaves would have thin tender spots like that which dried up, they would normally stop after the plant became more established and got better sun in warmer/brighter months. As long as the plant is still growing, i wouldn’t worry too much about it, it might be unsightly but if you can keep the plant alive through the winter, put it out in the spring and it should be fine.
